Gao Shenxing knew that he would not survive.

After being shot in the right chest, it is estimated that the entire right lung has been smashed, and it can be suffocated in pain when taking a breath, and the whole person is unable to move as if frozen for three seconds.

Gao Shenxing knows what this means.

Four years ago, at the Bazi Bridge on the bank of Suzhou Creek,

His platoon commander was also shot in the right chest.

He was carried back to the hospital and underwent thirteen surgeries, but in the end he was not saved.

He didn't want to be like the platoon commander, whose body was cut to pieces with a scalpel and still couldn't escape death.

So when the devil officer on the opposite side raised his pistol again and aimed it at his chest again, Gao Shenxing's already numb half of his body miraculously regained consciousness.

As soon as he shook his hand, Gao Shenxing threw away the submachine gun.

A submachine gun after firing bullets is better than a burning stick.

And for a veteran like him, a bayonet worked even more.

Although the right half of his body regained consciousness, it was no longer as flexible as before, so Gao Shenxing handed the bayonet to his left hand and rushed towards the devil officer with the bayonet in his left hand.

The devil officer threw away his pistol as well, drew his saber and rushed towards him.

A devil infantry rushed to the front, holding the 38 big cover is a ferocious stab.

Although Gao Shenxing's body was no longer flexible, he still avoided it with a slight side, and while turning sideways, the bayonet in his hand slashed through the side of the devil's neck.

The devil spun and fell to the ground, twitching and slapping like a chicken with its neck cut off.

The shouting sound sounded, and a Chinese soldier instantly crossed Gao Shenxing and pounced on the devil officer, Gao Shenxing recognized that this person was also a veteran of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps.

"Die for me, bitch boy!"

The veteran roared angrily, holding the captured 38 cover is a stab.

The devil officer raised his saber to block it, only to hear a soft bang, the veteran's bayonet was immediately tilted to one side, and the devil officer flipped his wrist, and the originally erected saber was cut horizontally.

When the veteran was about to dodge sideways, it was too late, only to hear a loud sound, and blood splattered.

The veteran also clutched his throat and fell to the ground, red blood gushing from between his fingers, and in a matter of moments it had already stained the bricks beneath him.

In just a few seconds, the two were already facing each other.

"Sine!" The devil officer clenched his saber with both hands and stabbed him fiercely.

Compared with slashing, the stab of the saber is actually more lethal, but it has higher requirements for the speed and accuracy of the knife, otherwise it is easy to be dodged by the opponent, and even seize the opportunity to counterkill.

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Gao Shenxing's mouth, but he didn't hide.

In a flash of cold light, the cold saber had already stabbed into Gao Shenxing's right chest.

"You're done!" Gao Shenxing sneered in his heart, and wiped the ground with a knife in his right hand.

However, at this moment, the devil officer incredulously abandoned the knife and took a half step back.

The difference of a millimeter, Gao Shenxing's bayonet slashed through the neck of the devil officer, and the tip of the knife was less than a millimeter from the skin, and this millimeter difference was the difference between life and death.

"You are a true warrior, a man of China."

The devil officer looked at Gao Shenxing with a first-class complicated look.

Gao Shenxing looked at the devil officer in disbelief, desperately trying to go out again.

However, unfortunately, under the heavy blows, his body has been completely immobile, even a finger has been unable to move.

"You don't have to regret it."

The devil officer seemed to be able to guess what Gao Shenxing was thinking.

"I didn't guess you would trade your life for your life."

"My retraction and retreat are just habitual caution."

"So, you didn't lose, I didn't win, it's a tie at best."

As he spoke, the devil officer stepped forward again, and the handle of the saber was twisted harder, and a sharp pain hit the wound, and Gao Shenxing could no longer stand, and fell to the ground.

When he was dying, Gao Shenxing found that the death squad had all been killed.

Including him, none of the death squads that grabbed the head of the city survived!

Farewell, Brigade, farewell, comrades-in-arms!

I'm going to miss you guys.

……

Five hundred meters away, a forward observation post.

Liang Gang has wiped away the tears on his face and restored the iceberg-like coldness.

Seeing the last Chinese soldier lying in a pool of blood, and seeing the Xihuamen city wall fall silent again, the expression on Liang Gang's face did not change at all.

After a long time, Liang Gang asked, "Have you seen it all?" ”

"See." Liang Jun nodded vigorously, his voice trembling a little.

After a pause, Liang Gang continued to ask, "Are you afraid?" ”

Liang Jun swallowed his saliva, nodded and said, "I'm afraid." ”

This answer was somewhat unexpected by Liang Gang.

Liang Gang looked back at Liang Jun: "Regret it?" ”

"No regrets." Liang Jun shook his head without hesitation.

"You don't regret coming to be a soldier?" Liang Gang asked, "Why?" ”

"It's simple." Liang Jun said, "If you don't become a soldier, you won't have a way to live, and the devil won't let us live." ”

"That's a good point." Liang Gang muttered, "If you don't become a soldier, you won't have a way to live, because the devil won't let us live, won't let our nation live, won't let our culture live!" ”

After a pause, he said, "The man prepares dinner." ”

"After dinner, continue the night fight."

……

Taiyuan Inner City, Headquarters of the First Army.

Hanaya hurriedly walked into the war room and said, "Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese army that attacked the Xihua Gate wall has been repulsed, and Suwon-kun has sent someone to report that the city wall is defended. ”

Yoshio Iwamatsu let out a long sigh of relief when he heard this.

It's good to keep it, it's good to keep it, just keep it.

A few minutes ago, seeing that a Chinese soldier had already attacked the Xihuamen wall, Iwamatsu Yoshio was really scared, and for a moment, he felt that Taiyuan was really going to be lost.

But fortunately, this tragedy did not really happen.

Taku Mizuhara also turned the tide at the last moment and defended the West Gate Wall.

At that moment, Iwamatsu Yoshio cheered up again, and said in a deep voice: "Hanaya-kun, give Mizuhara-kun a credit, if you can finally hold Taiyuan this time, Suhara Takuya should also take the first credit!" ”

"Hello." Hanaya Masashi paused and continued.

"However, Your Excellency Commander, although the Xihuamen city wall has been defended, the overall battle situation is not optimistic."

"Not to mention the walls of Xihua Gate, the battle situation of Houzaimun, Nanhua Gate and Donghua Gate is also very serious, especially the situation in Donghua Gate is the worst, because the Chinese army can set up crane guns and mortars from the head of Dadongmen City 400 meters away, and carry out reverse suppression of the firepower point at the head of our Donghua Gate."

"Of course, that's not the worst of that."

"The most serious thing is that the troops are depleted too quickly!"

"In just one afternoon of fierce fighting, nearly 500 people have been killed and wounded."

"If the Zhina Army continues to attack so fiercely regardless of casualties and at any cost, we can only hold out for thirty-six hours at most, perhaps shorter."

"Nani?" Iwamatsu Yoshio was dumbfounded, "The casualties are so big? ”

Several staff officers present also looked at each other, now the total number of defenders in Taiyuan City is less than 3,000, and they lost 500 people in just one afternoon of fierce fighting, how can this battle be fought?

Iwamatsu Yoshio originally did not pay attention to the Chinese army outside at all.

If it weren't for Sakamoto's bad idea, which caused the Japanese to lose almost all of their artillery firepower, Iwamatsu Yoshio would have even prepared to attack the Chinese army in turn.

More than 3,000 Japanese troops against more than 10,000 Chinese troops,

No matter how you calculate it, it's all the advantage that I have.

In most cases, more than 3,000 Japanese troops, that is, the strength of a wing, is enough to shake a Chinese army of about 30,000 people, so there is no pressure to play defense at all.

But now, Iwamatsu Yoshio no longer dares to think so.

Although Ryuichi Sakamoto, a fool, had a bad idea, he was right in one sentence, the Chinese army in the northwest of Jin, whether it was the Jin Sui Army, the Central Army or the Eighth Route Army, was not ordinary.

After a long time, Iwamatsu Yoshio said: "But fortunately, in another ten hours at most, the reinforcements from Anhua, Lu'an, and Yangquan can arrive outside Taiyuan City. ”

Hanaya said, "Now we can only hope for reinforcements. ”

Before the words fell, the head of the communications section, Inoue, walked in with a black face.

"Your Excellency, Commander." Inoue Yasudon said, "The Shibuya detachment, the Kitayu detachment, and the Saotome detachment were all blocked by the Shina Army in the middle of the road. ”

"Nani?" Yoshio Iwamatsu was stunned when he heard this.

Hanaya asked angrily, "The three reinforcement detachments have all been blocked?" ”

"Yes, they were all blocked by the Chinese army." Inoue Yasudon said, "And the Shina army is fighting very tenaciously, and the Saotome detachment that returned from Lu'an has been forced to retreat. ”

"Nani? That's impossible! Iwamatsu Yoshio said.

"Are the more than 2,000 people in the Saotome detachment eating? Huh? ”

"Your Excellency Commander, it is said that the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Lu'an has used a lot of artillery."

Inoue Yasudon said: "The artillery firepower of the Saotome detachment is even inferior to the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Now Iwamatsu Yoshio is completely dumbfounded, how can it be like this? Doesn't this mean that it is impossible for reinforcements from the Lu'an direction to come to Taiyuan?

Anhua and reinforcements from the direction of Yangquan are also not insured.

At that moment, Iwamatsu Yoshio asked again: "How far are the reinforcements from the direction of Anhua and Yangquan?" ”

Inoue Jing pointed to the map and said: "Yangquan's reinforcements are still thirty kilometers, and Anhua's reinforcements are the closest to Taiyuan, but there are still twenty kilometers left, and what's worse is ......"

"What?" "What's worse? ”

"What's worse is that it's getting dark." Ryuichi Sakamoto took over the conversation and said quietly, "After dark, the Shina army will be more active than during the day, and the reinforcements of Anhua and Yangquan will become more difficult, and it is not impossible to even be defeated. ”

"Shut up, don't say anything!" Hanaya was drinking Ryuichi Sakamoto, and said to Yoshio Iwamatsu, "Your Excellency Commander, the current situation can be said to be very serious, so you can see ......"

Hanayamasa's meaning is to quickly ask Okamura Ninji for help.

Otherwise, if it is half a day late, Taiyuan may really be lost.

Once Taiyuan is lost, it will not be face but life!

Not only is his flower valley finished, but Iwamatsu Yoshio is also finished, and the entire Shanxi will also be lost, which will have a subversive impact on the overall situation of the Sino-Japanese war.

……

Shejitan.

Fang Ligong walked in with a grim expression and reported: "Brigade seat, the casualty figure has been counted. ”

Chu Yunfei turned his back to Fang Ligong and was silent, Fang Ligong waited for a moment and didn't see Chu Yunfei speak, then said again: "The three regiments lost nearly nine hundred people, and more than one hundred people were seriously injured. ”

"More than 2,000 officers and soldiers were slightly wounded."

"Also, the casualties of the 94th Brigade are not small."

"In an afternoon of fierce fighting, more than 500 people were killed in the 94th Battle."

"What?" Chu Yunfei turned around, and the expression on his face changed.

"Brother Meritorious Service, do you mean that the 94th Brigade actually killed more than 500 people?"

"Yes, more than 500 officers and soldiers were killed." Fang Ligong said, "Even the commander of Brigade Commander Liang's guard company was martyred, and it is said that he has already attacked the city wall and almost took the city gate." ”

"Brother Tie Feng, you are really sincere about the party-state."

Chu Yunfei muttered: "In this regard, I, Chu Yunfei, are not as good as him." ”

"Brigade, our only brigade has done its best." Fang Li Gongdao.

"I know that, our One Brigade has done its best." Chu Yunfei nodded, and said, "But I didn't show the will to die without an enemy and sacrifice my life!" ”

After a pause, he added, "But tonight, we must give up our lives!" ”

"Huh?" Fang Ligong was stunned, he originally planned to persuade Chu Yunfei to rest for the night tonight.

As a result, Chu Yunfei actually proposed that he not only want to attack the city at night, but also sacrifice his life, this is really going to fight with the devil, for the sake of Lao Chang, is it worth it?

……

Until ten o'clock in the evening, Okamura Ninji was in a good mood.

Because the progress of the Zhongtiao Mountain battlefield is even smoother than expected, a big victory seems to be within reach, if there is anything else to worry about, it is Taiyuan.

Okamura Ninji was worried that something would happen to Taiyuan.

Because now not only Taiyuan, but the whole of Shanxi is empty.

Once the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army seize the opportunity to make trouble, it will still be very troublesome.

However, Okamura Ningji is confident that Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army is unlikely to make trouble, and the only thing he is worried about is the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army in North China is really troublesome.

Okamura Ningji's gaze turned to the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front: "There is Sue-kun, you can call Taiyuan and ask, how is the situation?" ”

Yousue Jingsan shook his head and said, "Taiyuan's phone can't be reached before nightfall. ”

"Nani? Can't get through? Okamura Ningji's brows furrowed, and the sense of uneasiness in his heart became even stronger, Taiyuan wouldn't really have an accident, right?

Tanabe Shengwu said: "Your Excellency the general doesn't have to worry, the outer city of Taiyuan has long been lost, and it is reasonable for the telephone line to be cut off by the Chinese army, it would be strange if it was not cut off." ”

Okamura Ninji said, "Let's send a telegram and ask." ”

As soon as the words fell, a communications staff officer hurried in.

"Your Excellency, General." The communications staff officer said, "The First Army is in an emergency!" ”

Yusue Seizo stepped forward to take the telegram, but his face changed dramatically after just one glance.

"Your Excellency General, Taiyuan is in danger of being lost!" Yusue Seizan said with a dark face.

"Give it to me!" Okamura Ninji snatched the telegram with his hand, and his face fell after reading it.

"Yaga, Iwamatsu Yoshio is a fool, didn't he boast that Taiyuan would never be in danger?"

"It's only been one day, no, it's not even a day, Taiyuan is actually in danger of being lost, why doesn't he die? Why don't you die! ”

At this time, Moritake Tanabe had already finished reading the telegram.

Tanabe Shengwu said: "Your Excellency, the responsibility of Yan Songjun can be discussed later, but Taiyuan must not be lost, once Taiyuan is lost, the impact on the entire Shanxi battle situation will be decisive!" Even the impact on the entire war situation in North China and even the whole of China is immeasurable. ”

"I know that."

Okamura Ninji said awe-inspiringly, "I don't need you to remind me. ”

After pacing back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, Okamura Ningji Huo Ran paused, turned around and said: "Order, the 26th Division stationed in Datong and the 110th Division stationed in Zhengding each send an infantry wing to reinforce quickly, and in addition, the 36th Division on the Zhongtiao Mountain front line will be transferred back as a whole to ensure the safety of Taiyuan and Shanxi." ”

There are three words: "The 36th Division is transferred as a whole, will it have an impact?" ”

"The impact will definitely be there." Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said, "But it's not a big problem, the overall situation of the Nakajo Mountain battlefield has been decided, and the Chinese army can't make waves." ”

……

Chongqing, Huangshan Residence.

Chang Kaishen's face was already black to the bottom of the pot.

As time passed, the situation in Mt. Nakajo became more and more severe.

At present, except for the two group army commands, which can still be contacted, the corps and divisional headquarters are no longer in contact, and this will certainly not be radio silence, but only the destruction of the command organs.

Whether it is active destruction, or passive destruction of radio stations,

can only prove one result, the deterioration of the situation in Zhongtiao Mountain is beyond imagination.

Now it seems that not to mention a month, even half a month is a luxury.

What made Chang Kaishen feel even more desperate was that Yan Xishan and Tang Enbo still stood still, sitting and watching more than 200,000 Central Army troops on Zhongtiao Mountain being eaten by the Japanese army one by one.

Only the two brigades of Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang are still fighting bloodily.

Trying to turn the tide of the unfavorable battle on Zhongtiao Mountain with a suicidal attack on Taiyuan.

Just as he was thinking about it, Tang Zong, the leader of the third group, walked in with a thick handful of telegrams.

Chang Kaishen's eyes fell on the telegram, frowned and asked, "So many telegrams?" ”

"Yes." Tang Zong responded and said in an inexplicable tone, "Chu Yunfei Brigade and Liang Gang Brigade just sent it. ”

"Huh?" Chang Kaishen's eyes froze when he heard this, he had already realized what was on the telegram.

Sure enough, Tang took a breath and said in a deep voice: "This is the list of the dead of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army and the 1st Brigade of the Jinsui Army before 10 o'clock tonight. ”

"As of 10 p.m. today,"

"The two brigades together lost more than 3,000 people."

Hearing this number, there was a sudden sound of inhalation in the war room.

More than 3,000 people were killed in less than a day? The two brigades add up to just over 11,000 people, right?

Counting the wounded, haven't the two brigades been reduced by almost half? In less than a day, nearly half of the troops were reduced and nearly a third were killed? Isn't that tragic?

This intensity has caught up with the Battle of Songhu.

Chang Kaishen's eyes also turned red all of a sudden.
